Recreated Lyrics

Hey Friends!  I am excited to share this song with you.  I thought I’d post up the lyrics beforehand for those of you who have asked for them.

This song has changed and developed over the past year (with the help of the JasonHarmsBand) as I’ve wrestled with body image and my lack of belief that eternity is real. My lack of belief in eternal reality shows itself loudly through the thoughts I think, the way I strive after temporary earthly glory and the things I put my hope in, often in regard to my  appearance as a woman.  As I’ve sifted through the lies I have believed were true about my identity and the truth of what God tells me about my identity in Christ, these verses have been a powerful influence in this song. These promises continue to bring me deliverance from my idolatry of beauty, appearance and thinness and give me hope in sharing in the resurrection of Christ one day.

Colossians 3:20-21, Romans 8:30, Romans 6:5, Romans 8:6, Romans 7:24, 2 Cor. 3:18, 2 Cor. 3:10-11, Rev. 22:5

Dwelling on them has helped me wrestle more with what is true and what is not.  I still have so far to come as a wrestler, expresser and giver in music, so I pray this song be just a small shadow of His far more surpassing glory.

Love, Katie

Secure

Jesus
The mediator of our love
Only covered in His blood, can you love me
And I dare love you
Though my flesh fail,
My heart grow weak
And death be near
The bond of our love can never be broken
We’re anchored by the life and death of Him
Your son
Though your enemies wage a war
No, I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me
And though my crimes were committed in your presence, God
You forgave me
Now, not even for a moment
Would you let me go unloved
This you have promised
You love me
And
Nothing can separate us
I am secure

Inspired by: Romans 8:38-39
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”


Jen’s New Blog: Cultivating Collections

Jen's Blog: http://cultivatingcollections.blogspot.com/

Hey Friends!  I don’t have any special updates today, but  I DO want to share with you a very special blog that my friend Jen has just begun!  We brainstormed and dreamed many ideas for her blog this summer, and she landed on calling it “Cultivating Collections.”  She includes everything from beautifully written poetry throughout her life, things she’s learning about life and the goodness of God, and tutorials on taking old things like curtains, thrift-store buys, old shoes, pillow cases, etc. and sewing/transforming them into cute things!  You’ll be blessed by slowing down to check it out, no doubt. :)
